ALMOST RELEASED.
Sehwartz, the Express R0bber
Comes Within Moment of Ne
gaining His Freedom,

CHICAGO, ILL January 25.-In. e
most unexpected manner, today, The
perpetrsiian of the express robb sry
on the Rock Island road was directly
charged against Henry Schwartz, a for.
mer brakeman on the road. He is to.
night in the custody OF officers from
the place where the crime was COM
mitted, and will have to answer in.
dctme3t5 not only for the robbery,
but also for the murder OF Express
Messenger Nichols. Some time ago
Schwartz was arrested here aud
jailed, ostensibiy on charge of bigamy.
There wss more or less reason
for holding him on that sec )unt, but
the fact OF his having been one Of the
brakemen on the Nichols train the
night OF the robbery, and had since
been spending money freely, led to
the impression that the real cause OF
his detention was suspicion OF his
connection with the train robbery,
The Rock Island officials and the de-
tectives denied such was the case, aud
Schwartz himself boldly de6ed
any one TO incriminate him in
that respect. Until today he has
remained quietly in Jail and his
arrest has long cea ed to be a subj ect
OF comment. This afternoon Schwariz's
attorneys went TO the Circuit Court
while Judge Anthony was trying
murder case and privately stated to the
Judge that their client was ready to give
bail. The circumstances surrounding
the arrested had 80 completely dropped
out Of public attention recently that
the Judge did not recolleCt anv thing in
the matter and he off.handed fixed the
bail, as requested, naming $1,000 as the
amount. Suret'es were waiting in the
corridor, and Schwartz would have
been released in short order had not
an ait ndant accidentally overheard
some Of the conversation in the hall,
aud hurriedly telephoned the officers
who arrested Schwarz These quick
ly IT armed word to Judge Anthony,
who delayed in signing the papers.
Before Schwartz had enjoyed
moment of liberty he was grabbed
by the two officers holding capiasss
that had been provided for such an
emergency. The documents showed
that Schwartz bad been indicted by
the grand Jury Of Grundy county for
murder and highway robsery. A cab
was called at once, i5to which
Schwartz, handcnffed and closely
guarded, was hustled aud quickly
driven TO the depot. He is now at
Morris, ILL.,, where he will have an ex-
amin alton tomorrow.

TRENTON, N. j., January pa
crisis wa, reached in the Senatorial
situation this afternoon wheu the
Democratic maj )rity of the Assembly,
in pursuance OF their caucus pro-
gramme, forced a ballot. A cali of
the House was made immed lately

motion, Democrat. His conferees
were not satisfied with the reasons
given for his absence till the Demo-
eIa's had thirty members present Ia
.twenty.nire Republicans, and thew
resolved to proceed. The Republicans
failed to secure an adjournment. A
motion to proceed to ballot for United
States Senator was objected to by the
Republicans as Illegal, the. REQUIRE
ment being that the vote should be
taken on the second Tuesday after the
organization of the Legislature, and
the Senatorial half OF il was not
yet organized. The Democrats re.
piled that the failure {, orgauizs was
the result Of revolutionary methods by
the Republicans, and that it was un-
ne cessary to discuss the M after further.
The House then ocaeded to vote ON
the question Of takisg a ballot, and It
prevailed by t1e votes OF
the thirty Democrats. The Republic
cans, except Hawkins, refos I'd to vote.
Speaker Baird aud the two Labor men,
stood with the Republicans. Ex-Gov..

OFb NAV.
The State OF Tennessee has fur
nished more than her proportion Of
the able and efficient officers who
have proved themselves a tower Of
strength 10 the wise and economical
administration OF President Cleve-
land. Gov. James ID. Porter was made
Assistant Secretary Of Stlte, and on
account Of the many sfiilctions that
have dsrkened the life OF Secretary T. r.
Bayard the duties Of Secretary Of State
have often devolved upon Gov. Porter.
The ability with which he has dis
charged them has reflected the highest
credit upon himself and honor
upon Tennessee. Ths Hon. ].
D. @. Atkins was selected as Commits
sioner Of Indian Affairs, one OF the
most responsible positions connected
with the Interior Department. The
whole country unites in commencing
the efficiency OF Commissioner At
kins. He has escaped the scan
dals which have so long been
connected with this department OF the
govern ment, and has substituted
honesty in the place Of corruption and
extravaganza. In this work OF reform
Commissioner Atkins has been ably
supported by his assistant, A. B. Up
shaw, Of Tennessee. Indeed, 1t Is
said that Mr.. Upshsw is one
Of the mort useful officers con-
neotsd with the Interior Depart.
ment at Washington. He has besn
charged with multitude Of resp onsl-
bilities-complex, delicate and full OF
gravity-aud in the discharge OF these
he has displayed ability, tact and
resource. The burden has been
heavy but he has been equal
to every emergency, triumphed
over every obstacle and Ia now re-
garded as one OF the most valuable
officials connected with the admins
tration. He has been unpretentious
as he mas been faithful; he took upon
himsslf grave responsibilities, and has
carried them ospably, and when the
time comes for him to lay them down
there will be no spot or stain to sully
his name. 1t Is hoped the sunshine
and calm Of prosperity will gild his
later life. The people Of Ten uessee
and Mississippi will reioice to
hear OF Mr.. Upshaw's prominence
at Warrington and the s:eadfast
friends he has made by his labor in
the public service. He was born
and reared at Holly Springs, Miss,

Gen. Buffers Ktndness Toward the
6lonbeigh Tenants.

GlenbeiEh Tenants.
LONDON, January 25.-Gen. Bulle,
in November last requested the agents
OF Mr.. Winn's estate, at Glenbeigh, to
give him the address of Mr.. Head
MIR. WINS agent by power of at or.
ney. An interview in London be-
tween Gen. Butler aud Mr.. Head fol-
lowed, the result Of which was that
Mr.. Head wrote to the Glenbeig h
agents, sotensibly with Gen Buller's
approval, ordering them to evict seven
tenants and level their houses, and to
eject fiIty.seven others. On the same
date the agents at Greenbeigh received
letter from Gen. Buller to the effect
that he had asked Mr.. Head to accept
one years rent and give clear re.
ceipt; that he Yves aware this was
yielding, but the tenants were poor
aud ignorant, and had been misled by
bad men, and he would save them
from suffering If he could. Writing
four days later, Gen. Butler says he
has done his best for the tenants,
WHO persist in saying they
were unable to pay one years rent
and costs. Seventy.five OF the tenants
he says, solemnly promised to pay one
years rent aud costs, but in his opin-
ion maj ority were nearer famine
than the payment OF rent. After fur
ther correspondence Mr.. Head ac-
copied this reduction, but the efforts
of all parties proved futile, and Father
Q1ilter wrote in the middle Of Deem
Der to Col. Turner regretting that
only seventeen tensnts had paid the
rents agreed upon. He declared that
Gen. Butler had acted kind hearted
part, and said that he himself would
never again interfere in Glenleigh be-
tween landlord and tenant. Gen.
Butler sf!erwsrd wrote to the agent
expressing regret at the failure of
their efforts and adding that there
was nothing left but to execute the
DEGREES.
